Pain made
worse with deep
inspiration
Fig. 8.3 Precordial catch syndrome can be caused by prolonged sitting in a slumped position. It is
often confused with pain of cardiac origin. (From Waldman S. Atlas of Common Pain Syndromes.ed.4.
Philadelphia: Elsevier; 2019 [Fig. 66-1].)
TESTING
Plain radiographs are indicated for all patients who present with pain thought to
be emanating from the chest wall to rule out occult bony disorders, including
tumor. If trauma is present, radionuclide bone scanning should be considered to
exclude occult fractures of the ribs or sternum (Fig. 8.4). Given the location of the
pain, an ECG and an echocardiogram are indicated, but in patients with precordial catch syndrome, the results are expected to be normal. In patients where the
index of suspicion of a cardiac etiology of the patient’s symptomatology is high,
cardiac stress tests, and in selected cases coronary artery angiography, is indicated. Based on the patient’s clinical presentation, additional testing may be

indicated, including a complete blood count, prostate-specific antigen level,
erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and antinuclear antibody testing. Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scanning, and ultrasound imaging of the
painful area are indicated if an occult mass is suspected and to identify occult
pathology (
Fig. 8.5).
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Many other painful conditions that affect the chest wall occur with much
greater frequency than precordial catch syndrome (Box 8.1). The costosternal
joints are susceptible to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter syndrome, and psoriatic arthritis. The joints are often traumatized during acceleration-deceleration injuries and blunt trauma to the chest;
with severe trauma, the joints may subluxate or dislocate. Overuse or misuse
can result in acute inflammation of the c ostosternal joint, which can be quite
debilitating. The joints are also subject to tu mor invasion from primary malignant tumors, including thymoma, or from metastatic disease. Sharp pleuritic
chest pain may be associated with devil’s grip, pleurisy, pneumonia, or pulmonary embolus. Occult cardiac disease can also mim ic the pain of precordial
catch syndrome (
Fig. 8.6).

Fig. 8.4 The bone scan study of a patient with prostate cancer showed multiple foci of abnormal
tracer uptake in the left scapula, ribs, lower lumbar spine, and pelvic bones consistent with metastases. (A and B) Note is made of urinary catheter with tracer in the urine. The tracer activity projected
over the left tibia (arrow) is owing to tracer activity in the urinary catheter as shown in the separate
static images (C and D) acquired after changing the position of the catheter. This can be misinterpreted as metastasis in the tibia and additional views may be needed. (From Agrawal K, Marafi F,
Gnanasegaran G, et al. Pitfalls and limitations of radionuclide planar and hybrid bone imaging. Sem
Nuclear Med. 2015;45(5):347372 [Fig. 19]. ISSN 0001-2998,
2015.02.002, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001299815000197.)
TREATMENT
Treatment of precordial catch syndrome consists of a combination of reassurance
and instructing the patient to take a deep breath as soon as the pain begins, even
though this produces a sharp, stabbing pain. Improving one’s posture and
changing position frequently while resting or watching television should also
help decrease the frequency of attacks. Pharmacologic treatment is not indicated,
given the rapid onset and offset of the pain. Significant underlying anxiety
caused by concern for the unresolved pain symptomatology should be evaluated
and treated appropirately.

PITFALLS AND COMPLICATIONS
Because many pathologic processes may mimic the pain of precordial catch syndrome, the clinician must carefully rule out underlying cardiac disease and diseases of the lung and structures of the mediastinum. Failure to do so could lead
to disastrous results. The greatest risk in patients suffering from precordial catch
syndrome is related to unnecessary testing (e.g., cardiac catheterization) to rule
out cardiac disease.
HIGH-YIELD TAKEAWAYS
• The patient’s symptomatology was not associated with antecedent trauma.
• The pain was paroxysmal with pain-free episodes.
• The pain located in the left parasternal region was attributed to a cardiac origin
by the patient.
• The patient admitted to increased anxiety and fear regarding the pain.

immediately subjacent to the right coronary artery. Many of the imaging features of paragangliomas are a
result of their high vascularity. (From Syed IS, Feng D, Harris SR, et al. MR imaging of cardiac masses.

• The patient’s pain is not associated with any of the classic symptoms of
myocardial ischemia.
• There is no evidence of thrombophlebitis.
• There is no evidence of mitral valve prolapse.
• There are no findings of chest wall or pulmonary pathology that would explain
the patient’s pain.
• The patient is afebrile, making an acute infectious etiology unlike ly.
• All testing is negative, including cardia c stress echocardiography.

Mike Zuckerburg
Mike Zuckerburg is a 28-year-old
computer technician with the chief
complaint of, “I am sicker than a
dog.” Mike explained, “ Everyone in
my office is sick; and here it is, the
end of summer, but I got it the worst.
I can barely get a breath in, it hurts so
bad. Doc, I literally cannot take a
deep breath. Do you think I have
pneumonia? I really feel punk.” Mike
was a longstanding patient of the practice. One of the retired partners had delivered him and taken care of him until retirement, and I added Mike to my patient
list. Mike stated that he had what he thought was a summer cold. It seemed that
everybody in the office got sick at once, but over the last couple of days, he
became increasingly sicker with a cough and severe pain every time he took a
breath.
Mike noted that the pain was worse with coughing, deep breathing, or any
movement of the chest wall. He tried using a heating pad and extra-strength
Tylenol without much success. I asked about Motrin, but he said it “ate a hole in
my stomach. Doc, what do you think is going on here? I think this is about the
sickest I have ever been.” I could see that Mike looked systemically ill, and it was
obvious that he was really worried. I tried to reassure him that we would
figure it out.
Mike denied any antecedent chest wall trauma, or pulmonary or cardiac disease. I asked what made the pain better and he said, “Nothing really helps. I
spend all my time trying to not cough or breathe too deeply because it hurts so
much.” Mike said he had a fever for the last couple of days, usually around
100; the highest was 100.6. “I didn’t have chills, but I don’t have much of an
appetite, a little diarrhea. I really don’t feel good.” I asked Mike to decribe his
pain, and he said it felt like someone was sticking a knife in his chest and twisting
it each time he took a breath. “It feels like I’ve got a stitch or a catch every time I
breathe. I am sleeping in my recliner so I can get a little rest. It just hurts too
much to lie down.”
On physical examination, Mike had a mild fever at 100.2 orally. His respirations were 18, and his pulse was 86 and regular. He was normotensive with a
blood pressure of 126/74. Mike’s oxygen saturation o n room air was 98%. His
head, eyes, ears, nose, throat (HEENT) exam was unremarkable, nothing to
suggest strep throat. His cardiac exam was completely normal. Peripheral
pulses were full. His pulmonary exam was a different story. He had a loud frictionrubanteriorlyontheleft.Itwaseasytohear,evenoveralloftheupper

airway secretions he had from not coughing. His thyroid was normal, and there
was no adenopathy. His abdominal examination revealed no abnormal mass
or organomegaly. There was no costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness or
peripheral edema. Mike’s low back examination was unremarkable. Visual
inspection of the chest wall was unremarkable with n o costochondral swelling
or costochondritis. Examination of his major joints r evealed no acute arthritis.
A careful neurologic e xamination revealed no evidence of peripheral or entrapment neuropathy, and the deep tendon reflexes were normal. There was no evidence of thrombophlebitis.
